A memory page poisoned from the hypervisor level is no longer readable.
The migration of a VM will crash Qemu when it tries to read the
memory address space and stumbles on the poisoned page with a similar
stack trace:

Program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
#0  _mm256_loadu_si256
#1  buffer_zero_avx2
#2  select_accel_fn
#3  buffer_is_zero
#4  save_zero_page
#5  ram_save_target_page_legacy
#6  ram_save_host_page
#7  ram_find_and_save_block
#8  ram_save_iterate
#9  qemu_savevm_state_iterate
#10 migration_iteration_run
#11 migration_thread
#12 qemu_thread_start

To avoid this VM crash during the migration, prevent the migration
when a known hardware poison exists on the VM.

I queued it for now, while it'll always good to get feedback from either
Paolo or anyone else, as the pull won't happen in one week.  If no
objection it'll be included the next migration pull.

Thanks,
